Previous Chapter Next Chapter

"Nust wo ni qiilaan fen kos duaan!" The lambent-Alduin monstrosity shouted. The noise produced from just his voice was enough to crack nearly every window in Canterlot.

The mutated beast did not resemble its normal form in the least. It was at least three times larger, towering above most buildings now. Its wings yet remained small and unpractical. It most likely wouldn't be able to fly. Yet the mutation continued and several tentacle-like things started spouting from all over across his body. All of these were armed with a sharp edge and dripping with more deadly immulsion that would burn any normal person alive.

It had only one goal. Destroy the world. Everything must be annihilated, vanquished or crushed in his presence. He failed once when attempting to burn Skyrim to the ground, yet is given another chance.

Weeks ago he escaped the realms of eternity where he remained after being 'defeated' by the dovakhiin and the heroes of Sovngarde. By the diabolical creature known as Discord he was brought to Equestria where the draconequus attempted to bend him to his will. What a foolish mistake, he will learn from his mistake for underestimating the Nordic god of destruction. Yet in his weakened state Alduin was imprisoned by the one named Discord for weeks. In a cave where he continued to grow more powerful every minute by constant exposure to the strange liquid known as immulsion.

Yet Alduin never lost his sanity. He was more than strong enough to compress the extra power given to him. Just an hour ago he escaped his wretched prison and had only one goal. Destroy the one that took him here, and crush everything else in sight.

Yet spotting the dovakhiin ignited Alduin's lust for battle once again. Just as Ulfgar himself, Alduin was only driven by revenge. They were equals in that matter.

Little did Alduin know that destroying this entire world and its inhabitants is exactly what Discord wants. Including himself of course. Why? No one knows yet.

But there were only a handful of beings standing in his path.

The dovakhiin, Heavy, Princess Celestia and the Elements of Harmony. Together they stood vigilant to protect not only Canterlot, but all of Equestria.

The meteor storm summoned by lambent-Alduin was getting closer. The entire sky was lightened by their presence up in the air, but as they slowly got closer they were even able to feel the intense heat produced from the flaming meteors. A few minutes before they start dropping, max.

"DOVAKHIIN! You will endure endless suffering, and your soul will be devoured by ME!" Alduin shouted as he started spewing more flames towards his nemesis.

Ulfgar just stood still, still recovering from the previous blow he took. But he did not fear the flames, not anymore. He's grown a lot since that first encounter in Helgen. He hoped at least that Alduin would finally be forever defeated after his demise in Sovngarde. But the legend still continues, yet in another world once again. He wondered if the people of Skyrim would ever read of this battle. Or if they were still safe at least. There was still a lot going on even though the dragons weren't the main problem anymore. The Stormcloaks and the Imperial continued their useless war. Daedra's kept showing up and the Forsworn were becoming a serious threat. At least the Dark Brotherhood was no more.

But there was no time to worry about the past. Ulfgar got ready to embrace the endless firestorm that was heading towards him, yet he did not need to.

Princess Celestia teleported herself in front of him, quickly powered up her horn again and teleported the two of them of to a safer place.

Ulfgar was slighty confused to what happened, but recovered quickly as he saw Heavy and the other ponies in front of him again. They were still in Canterlot, yet hiding behind a large building. Alduin's shadow could still be seen as he was towering above everything else, luckily he was far away enough for them to quickly come up with a plan.

"By Ysgramar! Why would you teleport me away? I was about to clash with the world eater once again." Ulfgar asked.

"Really? From my point of view it looked like that 'thing' was trying to burn you alive." Princess Celestia answered.

"Aye, but I do not fear the flames. Being the bearer of the Dovah Sos has taught me that. Don't worry about it anymore."

"Good to know. Anyway, we need to come up with a plan quickly, before those burning rocks start falling." Princess Celestia started brainstorming.

"Maybe... we should just run and go home?" Fluttershy peeped.

"Fluttershy... You know we can't do that. If we don't stop that thing, who will?" Twilight Sparkle replied.

"Aye. That creature there is... or was Alduin. Destroyer of worlds, so he is out for only one thing." Ulfgar said.

"Confetti?" Pinkie Pie chirped.

"Aye, which means we need t- No, by the gods! He's not here for damn confetti! He's here to crush every living thing." Ulfgar replied annoyed and started facepalming.

"Oh... Yeah, he didn't really look like a nice dragon, that's for sure." Pinkie Pie answered.

"So... Does anypony have a plan how we might... dispose of this vulgar creature?" Rarity asked.

"Yeah, we fly straight over there and POW POW, I hit that freaky big lizard right in his stupid nose. And then you guys come in and BOOM, start shooting your magic at him. No problem at all." Rainbow Dash was pretty confident.

"Da! Heavy agrees with little Scout-pony. We shoot many magic and bullets then puny monster will go down!" Heavy joined in.

"Yeah! and then we... Wait a minute, you call them Apple-pony, Flutterpony and Sparkle-pony... How the hay am I a Scout-pony?" Rainbow Dash asked confused at the Russian.

"Because little fast blue pony reminds me of puny little man back home." Heavy answered.

"Oh wow! Is he your friend? He sounds pretty awesome if he's anything like me."

"Njet!" Heavy started grinning.

"Could you two please stop this? We've got bigger problems right now." Twilight Sparkle stated.

"Ah agree, y'all seen that monster out there ain't looking for a tea-party or whatnot. He looks pretty determined to blow some things up." Applejack said as she watched Alduin stomp several large buildings to the ground.

"I...I really just want to go home." Fluttershy whimpered.

"I know that you feel troubled Fluttershy. But please, keep courage. Because we need all of the Elements power to stand a chance against this creature. I assure you that I won't let anything happen to any of you." Princess Celestia said comforting the frightened pegasus.

These words were comforting, but not enough. Fluttershy had always feared dragons. Spike was an exception, and Equestrian dragons weren't that known for being violent, so that one instance on the mountain where she confronted a large dragon doesn't count. But this creature could barely be called a dragon anymore. Fluttershy, no matter how hard she tried, couldn't feel any compassion for the creature in front of her that was in so much pain, caused by Discord.

Yet it was terrifying as just the swing of its tail was enough to bring skyscrapers to the ground. But Fluttershy had to try, together with her friends they might have a chance top stop its rampage. No matter how slim, they have to grab it with both hooves, otherwise all of Equestria might be doomed.

"Da! Little Flutterpony should not be scared. Heavy will be there to protect little ponies as long I'm here." Heavy also comforted the pegasus.

"Thank you... I'll come with you guys." Fluttershy said silenty, yet convincing enough.

"That's great Fluttershy. But we still don't have a plan." Twilight Sparkle said. "And those meteors are starting to get dangerously close now."

"By the gods, do you really think I strategically planned all my encounters with dragons this far? I just went straight at them with the full force of my blade. Alduin has fallen to it before, this time it won't be a difference." Ulfgar said more than confident enough of their inevitable victory.

"Well I don't care. We need to properly review the situation, and then come up with an idea that might get rid of the monster, preferably not hurting anypony in the process." Twilight Sparkle replied.

"By the gods... You're willing to protect this world of yours right?" The dovakhiin asked the purple unicorn.

"Well of course I do." She answered.

"Then take every chance you got. There's simply no time to make a war-plan against what were facing. Sometimes you're just supposed to risk everything." Ulfgar said proudly and raised the greatsword over his shoulder. He then proceeded to walk away from his cover, back to the fight.

"Ulfgar stop!" Princess Celestia ordered the dovakhiin.

"No... It's been enough." Ulfgar took a final look at the sky. It was competely red as far as the horizon. The storm was nearly hitting them. He continued further dragging his blade behind him.

"Ughh... These humans are so stubborn." Princess Celestia facehooved.

"Dragon-man is right. Come, we go and crush final boss!" Heavy was next to leave their cover. He was smiling, Sasha would soon be able to kill again.

"Yeah, come on! Let's go!" Rainbow Dash followed.

"Ahm sorry princess. Ah guess they're all pretty excited." Applejack was the next to leave. For some reason she was armed with a lasso. Don't quite know how that's going to help out in this situation, but do your thing girl.

"Hey, what are we doing? Are we dramatically leaving our hiding place one at a time? OH ME NEXT YAY!" Pinkie Pie started hopping away happily, following her friends.

Princess Celestia facehooved once again. This had to be the worst team of random individuals put together ever. Alone they were strong, yet they did not prefer to have a leader or take any orders. She guessed it to be understandable in this situation. Perhaps to mask their fear of this behemothian dragon-monstrosity? Yeah, that's what she guessed. She just prayed everything would be alright, and that their confidence wouldn't be for nothing.

"Come my prize pupil. At least we should stay close and face this threat together." Princess Celestia said to Twilight Sparkle.

"I agree with you a hundred percent princess." Twilight looked behind to her remaining friends. "Are you two coming?" She asked.

"Yes yes. We'll be right behind you dear!" Rarity replied.

"Right behind you." Fluttershy repeated to confirm this.

"Ooookay... Then let's go!" And the last four took off. To put an end to all this chaos caused by Discord.

______________________________________

The legends in Skyrim told of the dovakhiin. Bearer of the Dovah Sos. He would be the one to free Skyrim of the dragons that would roam their world. Three times he faced the world eater; Alduin now. The first time when Ulfgar's story began. That faithful day the dragons returned and the dovakhiin's execution took place in Helgen. The second time they stood against each other was in Sovngarde. Where the dragonborn and the old heroes were able to defeat him entirely.

Now unfortunatly there's a third time. Ulfgar the fearless was facing Alduin not in Tamriel or the plains of Sovngarde. But in a strange world called Equestria. Where a race of sentient ponies rule. That's fine, Ulfgar didn't question this anymore. All that matters now was that the Nordic god of destruction must be destroyed. That was his destiny, only that would finish the legend of the dovakhiin.

They both faced death in order to get transported to this world. The dovakhiin and Alduin had a lot more in common than they would ever admit. There was a mutual hatred between them. Ulfgar's entire existence consisted of killing dragons. That was all he was ever meant to do, only he would be able to since he was the bearer of the Dovah Sos.

And Alduin hated the dragonborn for stopping him once before. Even though it was with the help of others, Ulfgar was the one that took the finishing blow. Alduin would never forgive him. He must be destroyed and endure the same pain Alduin was in.

But there's no more time for old memories. The first meteor crashed straight into the royal palace, blowing it up entirely and creating a massive fiery crater.

At this moment the dovakhiin stood before the lambent-Alduin. Quickly after he was joined by Heavy, Applejack, Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie.

"Hmm. Dovakhiin, Hin lost daal." The dragon momentarily stopped his rampage as the dragonborn caught his attention.

"Prepare to meet your end once again Alduin!" Ulfgar shouted.

"Bah, arrogant mortal. You do not even know our tongue, how dare you take the name of Dovah!" Alduin spoke annoyed with his voice which was loud enough to shake the ground.

"I think I've earned it after slaying hundreds of your kind. And you'll be just another one." The dovakhiin spoke confident.

"HA HA! I'm more powerful then ever before, what can you possibly do without the heroes of Sovngarde to protect you?"

"We can shoot puny dragon is what we can do! YAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Heavy already started revving up Sasha and launched a barrage of bullets towards the enormous dragon.

The rounds all connected and penetrated the giant monstrosity, yet the being did not seem bothered. More immulsion started leaking from the holes created, but shortly after were regenerated by the mutation. Appareantly Alduin can regenerate now.

Heavy upon noticing Sasha wasn't doing any damage immediatly stopped firing his mini-gun to preserve his precious ammo. He'd have only like a hundred bullets left at this point, max.

"He he he." Alduin was chuckling slightly maniacally. "Meyye joorre. Foolish mortals, is that the best you can bring?"

"Heavy will shoot your big ugly face later. Then you better run coward!" The Russian shouted taunting the dragon.

"You will all be devoured after I'm finished with the dovakhiin. Prepare yourselves!" Alduin responded.

"You will not!" Princess Celestia shouted as she appeared on top of a building accompanied by Twilight Sparkle, Rarity and Fluttershy.

The princess conjured up a powerful flame, just as she did with the Brumak in order to completely incinerate it. Yet her powers were severely weakened by the earlier events and without the presence of the sun they grew even more weaker.

Yet it had some effect on the giant dragon as he started staggering on impact. More immulsion started spouting in all directions and Alduin started stomping every nearby building to make up for the pain he was enduring.

Luckily for the labent dragon the damage done was quickly healed once again by the mutation. But every place that got hurt grew more blade-like tentacles, ready to slice everything that got near.

"Bah, these pathetic attempts to harm me are futile." Alduin stated.

But Heavy weapons guy noticed the dragon's pain when he got hit by Celestia's attack. He had a brilliant idea.

"Little pony princess!" Heavy shouted.

"Yes, what?" Princess Celestia answered, shouting back from atop the roof.

"You must do more strong magic attacks. Then we must all attack at same time!" Heavy laughed at his own brilliance.

Yes, what an excellent idea! Princess Celestia thought. If the humans attack with their weapons from the ground, combined with the power of herself and the Elements of Harmony attacking the dragon from up here, surely it has to go down, or at least be greatly damaged.

This wasn't exactly Heavy's idea. He just wanted to shoot his remaining bullets at Alduin combined with one powerful attack with princess Celestia. But her idea is probably better.

"My little ponies. Please all gather here so we c-." Princess Celestia said to the remaining three ponies who were back on the ground but was interupted.

"You called?" Pinkie Pie suddenly popped next to them instantaneously.

"Wait, how did you... Nevermind. Applejack and Rainbow Dash. Please come up here, we need to gather all the elements." Princess Celestia continued.

"Ah guess we better get going. It's a long way up that building there, ya see?" Applejack said to Rainbow Dash.

The blue pegasus responded by facehooving and suddenly picked up her friend, lifting her up in the air.

"Hey, put me back down! Ah don't like flyin' one bit!" Applejack yelled.

"Oh shut up AJ, this goes a lot faster than walking." Rainbow Dash replied. "Good luck to you two!" She shouted at the humans.

"Are you ready dragon-man?" Heavy asked the dovakhiin as he started getting his mini-gun ready.

"Aye. I was born ready to fight Alduin." He answered while unsheathing his greatsword once again.

"Then we crush dragon for good now, and end all madness."

"Aye... for it to end, that would be nice wouldn't it?"

Heavy replied with a annoyed grunt as he started revving up Sasha.

"Hah!" Alduin started chuckling again. "What pitiful attempt to harm me have you mortals planned this time?"

Princess Celestia and the Elements of Harmony gathered on the roof. Meteors were still crashing around them annihilating Canterlot by the minute. But if they wouldn't stop this creature even more than just Canterlot would be destroyed, all of Equestria is in danger.

She already charged her magic back up to fire a similair fireball as before. Hopefully combined with all the other attacks it'd be enough.

The Elements of Harmony also prepared. It's been a while since they had to use its power. The last time was with Discord as they've never gotten a chance to use them at the Canterlot Wedding. But all the ponies were confident in their own abilities, and were certain that they'd be able to use the power of the Elements to its full extent one more time. They needed to.

"Is everypony ready?" Twilight Sparkle asked her friends.

"Yes ma'am!" Rainbow Dash saluted.

"Yeppers!" Pinkie Pie answered.

"I'm as ready as I'll ever be. That disgusting creature must be disposed of as it's already destroyed three of my favorite shops in Canterlot. UNFORGIVABLE!" Rarity added.

"It's now or never gals." Applejack said.

"Oh dear... I hope we won't get hurt." Fluttershy added.

"Don't worry. I'll be sure nopony ever will." Princess Celestia comforted the pegasus once again. They'd just have to wait for the right time to attack now. Follow the humans lead.

Back on the ground the Russian was still busy taunting the enormous dragon much to his annoyance. But Alduin had only one goal right now, destroy and devour the dovakhiin's soul. The giant lambent-dragon monstrosity decided to ignore Heavy's rambling for the moment and turn towards Ulfgar.

"Daar Lein los dii. Are you prepared dovahkiin?" Alduin asked.

"It will never be. You will die in this world and never return!" Ulfgar replied.

"Hmm hmmm hmm." Alduin chuckled. "Then come... and embrace your death. And know that when I've devoured your soul you will never be able to enter Sovngarde!"

"I'll be the one absorbing your soul! COME ALDUIN! We end this right now!" Ulfgar shouted.

"He he. Gladly." The dragon answered.

Ulfgar started charged with his blade equipped in both hand. Alduin prepared to unleash more hellish flames but was interupted as the dovakhiin began using the Thu'um.

"FAAS RU MAAR!" Ulfgar spoke the dragon words for fear, run and terror. The weak shall fear the Thu'um, and flee in terror.

"Ha! You think I'll run away dovakhiin?" Alduin laughed.

But Ulfgar immediatly followed up with another shout as the lambent-dragon was confused at the earlier one that didn't seem to make a lot of sense.


"IISS SLEN NUS!" He now spoke the words; Ice Flesh Statue to engulf his foes in a tomb of ice. Yet Alduin was far to enormous for the shout to work, but he was close enough to the dragon to freeze a part of his side completely, along with the blade tentacles. After that the dovakhiin leaped up the dragon and started to violenty hack away at the frozen parts of his body, completely shattering them.

Alduin shrieked in pain, but was far from being finished. But next was the RED Heavy. He was grinning wickedly as he already warmed up his mini-gun. He aimed straight at the dragon's face pumping it full of lead the second Ulfgar also started his assault.

But there was more. From atop the roof the Elements of Harmony stood together, launching a magical beam of friendship straight to the lambent monster. It clearly seemed to damage the dragon as the power of the Elements seemed to burn him alive.

Princess Celestia was the last to join. She summoned just as much power as before but decided to put a little more effort in to her attack this time, just to make sure the dragon really goes down. She unleashed a fiery attack similair to the one before, yet larger far more deadly as the heat produced from the attack could be felt by not just Alduin, but everyone even close to it.

Ulfgar quickly jumped of the dragon upon seeing this attack, avoiding the damage done by Celestia and the mane six. Heavy just continued firing, and now the dovakhiin decided to add a little more damage to the creature, at the cost of his own health.

"KRII LUN AUS!" He shouted the words for kill, leech and suffer. Speak, and let your Voice herald doom, as an opponent's armor and lifeforce are weakened. It was to make sure Alduin reveiced critical damage. Yet the strain of using so many shouts on the same day started to backfire on the dovakhiin. He was in pain once again and started coughing up more blood. But it doesn't matter as long Alduin gets defeated.

He stared at the beast who was screaming of pain by all the damage it was receiving. Immulsion around his body started boiling like crazy and splattered in all directions. He swung around his tail in a rampage caused by the suffering he was going through. Shortly after he dropped to the ground, trying to pull itself up with his small wings, but in vain. Alduin's eyes started to slightly turn white. The group finished up their attack and the RED Heavy was out of ammo.

"Dovakhiin... You will suffer... You all will." Alduin spoke these while raising himself up slowly.

When all of a sudden the mutated dragon's chest bursted open, and another head came sticking out. Completely undamaged and even more hideously mutated than the previous one.

Yet also slightly more insane as Alduin was no longer able speak comprehensible words. It just roared in terrifying shouts while he was 'shedding' its skin. But his eyes never left the dovakhiin. The lust for vengeance still remained.

"LOOK OUT!" Twilight Sparkle shouted as suddenly another meteor was heading straight towards the building all the ponies were on at an alarming speed.

"Twilight... I can't use my magic again for a short period after using such a powerful spell. You need to teleport your friends to safety quickly! Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy. You two come with me." Princess Celestia said. She and the pegasi could just fly off before the meteor crashes.

Rainbow Dash quickly followed the princess of the sun, leaving Twilight to only teleport herself, Rarity, Pinkie Pie and Applejack to safer grounds. The less ponies the further the distance they could travel through teleportation, and getting to a safe distance was their top priority right now.

Twilight quickly rushed her spell as the burning rock was getting dangerously close now. She managed to teleport herself and her friends to safety in time with some to spare. She spotted Princess Celestia and Rainbow Dash landing on a building close to them.

"Wait... Where's Fluttershy?" Twilight Sparkle asked with a panicky voice.

"Oh darn! She's still on the building. Poor thing must be scared to death." Applejack stated.

"Oh no!" Twilight Sparkle quickly teleported herself back to the building. "Come on Fluttershy! We need to go!" She shouted at her friend.

Fluttershy was still frozen in fear. The monster she just witnessed was able to take all that punishment and simply made an entirely different body that was WITHIN his other body to cheat death. This creature was terrifying, destructive and extremely dangerous. Fluttershy tried to move her legs but they just weren't co-operating.

"Stand still. I'll just teleport us to the rest." Twilight Sparkle started creating a spark with her magical horn to transport both of them. But the spell backfired, most likely because she now used it twice in a row so quickly.

"Oh no oh no oh no!" She said as she watched the burning meteor coming closer by the second. The heat it produced was like standing next to a volcano. But desperatly she continued to ignite her spark to teleport her and Fluttershy to safer grounds. Even princess Celestia wouldn't be able to save them in time from this situation.

"Yes!" Finally Twilight was able to create a spark. "Get ready Fluttershy."

Both ponies were engulfed in magic and dissapeared. Unfortunatly they re-appeared only about thirty meters further.

"Oh no..."

The meteor crashed down onto the building they were on before, completely crushing it to the ground. The shockwave created was enough to knock both Fluttershy and Twilight Sparkle through the air. Both ponies were thrown against another building by the impact. Fluttershy slowly fell down to the ground, already having lost her consciousness. Twilight Sparkle crashed down next to her, yet still conscious.

"No little ponies!" Heavy shouted. He was extremely worried about their well being. Luckily he and Ulfgar were able to avoid the impact of the meteor by taking cover behind another large building that wasn't smashed yet. Unfortunatly the Russian was out of ammo. He didn't even anything else besides his fists to fight right now.

But the dovakhiin was shocked. Alduin wasn't harmed at all, even after three shouts from himself, including the magical powers of the ponies and the destructive force of Heavy. What can they do to stop this? Is there anything at all, or is it truly foolish to even attempt to fight the lambent-Alduin.

No... He's the dragonborn. It was his legend, his story. He would be the one to destroy the world eater. He had to, not matter how hurt Ulfgar was, he'd never give up. Alduin and Discord, the dovakhiin couldn't describe his hatred to these two beings.

Meanwhile Princess Celestia immediatly rushed over to the two ponies who were hurt by the lambent-dragon. Fluttershy just was laying there, unconscious on the ground. Twilight Sparkle was still awake.

"P-princess... My legs hurt." Twilight spoke silently, still confused at what happened.

"My little ponies... I'm so sorry for involving you in something as dangerous as this. I can't be forgiven for acting so selfishly." Princess Celestia said.

"It's not your fault princess... We all came on our own will, like Ulfgar said. We have to be willing to risk it all to save Equestria... I just never imagined it'd be like this." Twilight spoke as she was coughing up some amounts of blood from the crash she just had. Next to her legs being hurt she'd might have some internal injuries.

"Don't worry. We'll get you and Fluttershy out of here and I'm sure Ulfgar will be able to fix you up later. We just need to get to safe place for a while." Princess Celestia replied.

"But... is there still anywhere safe?" Twilight Sparkle asked as the sky was still filled with falling meteors.

"We'll find a place, we just need some time." Celestia answered.

At this moment, Rainbow Dash and the other ponies arrived to the scene. They quickly checked up on Fluttershy as well. She seemed to still be breathing but was knocked out cold.

"Where are the humans?" Princess Celestia asked.

___________________________

Back at Alduin and the remaining humans.

"Are you sure dragon-man?" Heavy asked worried at the dovakhiin.

"Aye. It's gone to far. Just take them to safety. I'll finish this once and for all." Ulfgar answered.

Heavy wanted to stop him, maybe he should. But he knew that it'd be useless to stop a man's determination. When his mind is set on something, it wont change, no matter what.

"Fight with honor comrade. I will come back later." Heavy said as he left, leaving the dovakhiin and Alduin alone.

Ulfgar engulfed his Skyforge steel greatsword with flames one last time. The very same blade that had slain Alduin once before will taste his blood again. Ulfgar had only one more option. He slowly started walking towards the behemothian lambent-dragon monstrosity that was once Alduin.

"BLLAAAAARRRGHH!!" Was the most Alduin could master to speak. Insanity was rapidly consuming the beast, making him more powerful and lethal by the minute.

"Ulfgar stop!" A voice suddenly ordered the dovakhiin.

He looked behind him to see who was interfering with his destiny. It was princess Celestia.

"You can't face this alone Ulfgar. He's too powerful." She said.

"Aye... I know." Ulfgar answered with a sigh.

"Then what are you doing?"

"A man faces battle with honor, and will never flee from more powerful foes. That's what being an adventurer is all about."

"But you can't possibly defeat him alone."

"And neither can you without the power of the sun. Re-collect your magic to raise the sun once again, and use your magic which is much more powerful than mine to destroy Alduin for good."

"But that would cost time, and we currently don't have that luxury."

"Aye... And that's what I'm giving you."

"Ulfgar... What are you saying?"

"Just flee... You damn fools." Ulfgar gave a final gentle smile at the princess before leaving her and started heading towards Alduin again.

"Ulfgar! You don't have to do this!" Princess Celestia shouted.

But the dovakhiin didn't respond. He raised his fist one final time signalling Celestia to get the hell out of here.

Princess Celestia hesitated. But there wasn't anything she could do to stop him, if anything she should take this chance and bring those that got hurt to safety. Then properly prepare raising the sun to fully power up and completely incinerate the lambent-dragon in one shot.

She looked back one last time. Truly a frightening man; Ulfgar the fearless.

____________________________

Ulfgar stood alone in front of the giant dragon. Even though Alduin was losing his sanity by the second, he never forgot the dovakhiin and his face. He was his main priority before the rest of Equestria. He was most deserving of a painful death first.

"COME DRAGON! FACE ME AND ME ALONE!" Ulfgar shouted. His final battle begun.

He raised his flaming sword and swung it in the direction of Alduin. It released a massive wave of violent flames. Alduin was engulfed in them, but barely affected.

"GRAAWL!" Alduin shrieked and used it tail to block the rest of the incoming flames. But his attention was fully set upon the dovakhiin.

"Come!" Ulfgar shouted once again.

The dragon started stomping around in its incredibly messed up body. One leg was much larger than the other so it wasn't really fast, but he slowly started heading towards the dragonborn.

Ulfgar then quickly started running in the opposite direction of the ponies, leading the giant dragon away from them. At least they'd be able to get away safely. The dragon followed, slowly but sure.

Ulfgar kept running through the narrow alleyways attempting to gain as much distance to Alduin as possible, but in vain as Alduin was just able to stomp everything that was in front of him to the ground. But a distant building caught Ulfgar's attention. It was extremely high and not yet affected by the storm of burning meteors. He might have a plan to severely damage Alduin.

He kept running as fast as he was able, ignoring all the pain his body was currently in from overusing the power of the Thu'um. But eventually he made it to the building leaving Alduin still several streets behind him. He'd just have to make it to the top in time. He jumped through the first window he spotted which was already broken due to Alduin's presence. He then quickly looked around the building for a stair that could lead him to the roof. Even though there wasn't any lighting he found the emergency staircase rather quickly and started heading upstairs as he continued to listen to Alduin's footsteps getting closer by the second.

The dovakhiin stormed through the closed door leading to the roof. He quickly sprinted to the ledge, to be able to see Alduin's current location. It didn't take him long to spot that the Nordic god of destruction was right below him.

Perfect.

Even though Alduin was big, this building was even higher. With this height advantage the dovakhiin would be able to deliver a devastating attack without him ever noticing.

Ulfgar leaped of the roof, without a single moment of hesitation he prepared for a plunging attack aiming his sword downwards. As he continued to fall towards the giant lambent-dragon he decided to add a little more venom to his attack.

"WULD NAH KEST!" The dovakhiin used his Whirlwind Sprint to gain extra speed in his drop. With his blade at the bottom the speeding dovakhiin acted as a human bullet.

He connected with the unsuspecting Alduin, penetrating the creature right thought his skull. Ulfgar was inside his head for a brief moment but dropped down shortly, being burned alive by the immulsion that was surrounding Alduin.

He dropped his blade to the ground in order to get rid of the liquid that was nearly melting him. But he looked victorious as Alduin finally stopped moving. Must be rather hard without his brains. The dragon fell to the ground, followed by an enormous earthquake just from the impact.

Ulfgar stepped closer after the aftershock to be certain of his kill, but it was too late.

Alduin started regenerating himself once again, even though half his head was completely blown off by Ulfgar's attack. This immulsion and its strange power is truly terrifying.

"By... the gods." Was all Ulfgar could master to say. Exhaustion for excessive use of the Thu'um was wearing him out.

But he would never give up.

Never.

"FUS RO DAH!"

"FO KRAH DIIN!"

"YOL TOOR SHUL!"

"FUS ... ro... dah..." After this relentless assault of multiple Thu'ums in a row the dovakhiin fell to his knees. His body was hard to move, everything just locked up. With eyes widened he stared at Alduin, hoping he would be affected this time.

He was not.

All the damage done was nearly instantly regenerated by this terrifying mutation. Even its head was now covered by multiple bladed tentacles.

Ulfgar dropped face-first to the ground, his blade and helmet knocked off lying next to him. He slowly managed to turn himself around to take one final look at the stars.

"I'm sorry everyone."

Sovngarde awaits.

Slightly earlier. Heavy and the ponies.

Heavy had already arrived at the rest of the group. As soon he saw Fluttershy and Twilight Sparkle hurt he thought it to be best to send them to safer place. He took both of them on his shoulders and started running with the rest of the mane six while Celestia was busy checking on Ulfgar.

They had to get out of Canterlot, into the mountains and secure a temporary headquarters untill they can figure out what to do to stop this monster. This far everything seemed hopeless, but Heavy was sure that they could celebrate victory in the end. These ponies are strong, especially their princess. Heavy just hoped they were strong enough, because he couldn't do anything without ammo for his mini-gun.

Meteors were continuing to fall, so getting as far away from Canterlot as possible was their number one priority.

"Wait! Did you see that?" Rainbow Dash shouted as something caught her attention.

"What did you see dear?" Rarity asked.

"I... I'm pretty sure I just saw a fish attached to a red blur."

"What? That sounds pretty silly." Pinkie Pie added.

"I have no idea what it w-" Rainbow Dash was interupted as a loud earthquake trembled the floor and knocked all the ponies and Heavy that were on the ground flat on their face.

"What the hay was that?" Rainbow Dash asked.

Heavy just continued laying on the ground. He hit his head as he was falling trying to shield the two hurt ponies from the impact. Everything around him was blurry, he could just heart faint talking and distant explosions from the meteors dropping.

"Hey what do you think you're doing! Get away from him you weirdo!" Rainbow Dash suddenly shouted.

What? Is there a weirdo around here? Heavy thought. He tried to figure out what was going on. They were running away, then there was an earthquake and then he fell flat on his face. Wait... Is he the weirdo? That blue little pony better isn't calling him a weirdo!

"Bonk!" Heavy heard an incredibly obnoxious voice speak. After those words he was repeatedly slapped against the face with... a fish?

"YOU?!" Heavy suddenly jumped up.

"What's up big guy?" The person replied.

"Sandvich?"
